Issues with item pickup when using WASD and weapon skill prioritising

[TonyTurbo78]

So the issue is, when I want to pick up an item using LMB, it's prioritising the weapon skill that I've got bound to my LMB rather than picking up the item on the floor. So for me, I'm using Witch class with a "volatile dead" wand bound to my LMB button, but when I click on an item to pick it up, if there are corpses around me, then it prioritises raising all the dead corpses around me before it allows me to pickup the item. This gets rather frustrating. Ive seen in the menu there is an option to bind a key to "Item Pickup Key", but even binding that to a key that's not in use, it still doesn't pick up the item. Obviously the only way to get around this is to not have a skill bound to lmb like raising corpses etc, but this is not ideal as i like having LMB set to certain skills.

I've now got it that I switch to a different weapon in the 2nd slot, but having to do this every time just to pick up items is rather annoying.

Same annoyance here. It's crazy, since I can see the item actually highlight, but then click and a corpse 8 feet away still gets consumed. I'm abandoning the Volatile Dead skill until/unless it's fixed.

Hopefully sooner rather than later, annoying is an understatement.

With controller/wasd you can bind "interact" to its own button to avoid this issue.

It still prioritizes the corpses if you have a skill that interacts with them, even if you have loot bound to a button. Unearth will destroy pretty much every corpse near the loot before it lets you loot the item.

so you bind it to separate button, that doesn't bound to anything else

Yes, at least with wasd. It doesn't matter what option I'm using, with default, with highlight key and even with a separate key bind. If there's a corpse near the item (and yes, the item is highlighted) it prioritizes the corpse.

Hell yah, super annoying and they need to fix it. I realize diablo 4 is a bad word here, but it had it right. Regardless of the skill i assign to my LMB, it still picked up loot first.

They will fix it. Otherwise, WASD is not worth using really.
